Is Orencia Similar To Actemra?
I was a Remicade patient but did not get the desired results so my Rheumatologist switched me to Actemra. After 4 months I am significantly worse. I am now going to start Orencia. Can I expect to feel better, I have been told Orencia is similar to Actemra

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Orencia is Abatacept whereas Actemra contains Tocilizumab. Both are used in rheumatoid arthritis treatment but are not the same.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
